Agree with this article and also not sure what style Beppe would prefer. Under Zola we became predictable and rather one dimension - OK when we had the rub of the green like home performance against Bournemouth but not so effective in countless home and away performances. Under Beppe we became a little more solid in defence but not consistently and seemed incapable of defending a lead or finishing off a game. Will be interesting to see what happens this summer.

Next season Watford need: 1) A clear game plan. (Last year it was Vydra running off Deeney, Abdi getting forward. This year it has been muddled and at times hard to fathom.) 2) Discipline. Nearly 100 yellows? Ouch! There is no justifiable reason for this. 3) Willpower. It is not coincidence conceding so many goals in the last 5 minutes. It needs strength of mind and character. Do we need a sports psychologist? 4) A few key signings. Will Almunia stay? I hope so? A striker with pace and a centre back who can organise the defence to add to the quality we have already. 5) Togetherness. Team spirit is essential. How many times does that alone drag a team over the line? 6) Excitement. Let's get the feel good factor back from last season. With a few teaks, there is no reason why not! Coyh!

Do we need a huge squad? Seems many that came in over the two seasons were mercenaries. The better payers Abdi etc will be looking for quality players in the summer. No more Reece Browns, Steve Leo Beleck please. Lets see the Pozzos supposedly famous list of contacts bring in fantastic players

It's Pozzos not Pozzo's. If you pluralise something, even a name, an apostrophe isn't required .. Jofn Smith's favourite band are The Smiths, not The Smith's I don't see how you can write an article about the team without mentioning fitness. The only player to start this season physically ready for it was Sean Murray and that is only because he chose to invest his own money in private fitness training. Not only did many of the rest not hit the ground running, they hit it unable to run and the fitness levels for many of them have continued to be poor throughout the season. I am convinced that this is why we can't continue our high pressing towards the end of games and a major cause of the number of late goals we concede

Only joking of course. It's a fair article but has little insight. Read Bush Hornet's post on Rous for an example of an interesting read.
